How sink repair works in South Ayrshire

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips from dropped toiletries.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Prices in South Ayrshire

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in South Ayrshire

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing

Common problems we fix in South Ayrshire

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

Common reasons people in South Ayrshire contact us include:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice
